60 Years after the signing of the Rome Treaty, Europe is not a pretty sight. The UK is leaving after a guest performance of 44 years; populism and Euroscepticism prevail in many Member States; the days of an ‘ever closer union’ seem to be numbered.

Hosted by Mr. Ilhan Kyuchyuk, Member of the European Parliament (Bulgaria) on behalf of the ethnic Turkish minority party MRF, world-leading experts on international law, politics, and human rights, will debate whether or what future R2P has. There will be an opportunity to put questions to panellists.
